Man City matchwinner Aguero able to laugh off 'crazy' Guardiola

Manchester City matchwinner Sergio Aguero was able to laugh off being rapped by manager Pep Guardiola after their FA Cup win at Sheffield Wednesday.

Guardiola berated Aguero when he substituted him for Raheem Sterling after he netted to earn City an FA Cup quarter-final at Newcastle .

Aguero said Guardiola wanted him to run in behind Sheffield Wednesday's centre-halves and shrugged off his outburst.

“He said when Riyad or Bernardo receive the ball just to move in behind the centre backs," he said. “He's focused on that. It's fine, he's fine. Always he's a good manager and crazy!"

Guardiola saw the funny side when told what Aguero had said about him.

“I substituted him for Raz to make movements into the space," he said. “I like to be crazy and a good manager!"
